Game Balls

QB Phillip Walker: Coming in as the third quarterback of the night, Walker got the offense going the most. He was, also, responsible for the only touchdown for the Colts.

DT Hassan Ridgeway: The third-year defensive tackle played with fire as he regularly applied pressure to the backfield. He finished with two sacks on the night in an impressive outing.

CB Nate Hairston: The second-year cornerback recorded a turnover when the defense needed it most. He grabbed an underthrow in the end zone to get the ball back.

Key Stat

139.6: The passer rating Walker finished with for the night. All eyes were on Luck, but Walker made plenty of noise getting the offense rolling. He had some big-time throws and connected with tight end Darrell Daniels for a 10-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.

Quick Hits

The offensive playcalling was extremely different than what it has been used to in Indy. Expect the running backs to be involved heavily in the passing game.

Wide receiver Kasen Williams finished the night with three receptions for 43 receiving yards as he battles for a roster spot.

Offensive lineman Mark Glowinski fumbled three consecutive snaps while playing center. One of them led to a defensive touchdown.

Adam Vinatieri connected on all three of his field goal attempts. They came from 33, 51 and 45 yards out, respectively.

Running back Marlon Mack (hamstring) and wide receivers Deon Cain (knee) and James Wright (knee) all exited with injuries and didn’t return.

The offensive line was up and down. The interior looked strong with the first unit but the edges showed there is concerning depth. The unit allowed three sacks altogether.

Outside of Ridgeway, John Simon and Denico Autry, the defensive line struggled to consistently apply pressure on the quarterback.

Up next: The Colts are back at Lucas Oil Stadium for the first time in 2018 to host the Baltimore Ravens on Monday, Aug. 20 at 8:00 p.m. in primetime.
